I think this is an important question...

by The Rebel in

jw
friends

when i first met my wife and on that so important first date i was 21 years old and sadly broke, she was an 18 year old au pair.

any way i treated her to mcdonald's but she had to pay for the meal.

now over 20 years later and still together, i realize how lucky i was she didn't say on that first date " if you can't afford to pay "our" mcdonald's meal f...off" .

Took my wife on our first date to (lol) a meeting at the kh. After the meeting we went to a cozy little restaurant for a burger and fries. I was very hungry but she didn't order anything to eat, only a coke. I generously paid. lol. About a month or so later she told me that she had also been very hungry but did not want to eat in front of me on our first date. lol. She didn't want to be presumptuous about me paying for her meal! lol. You gotta love a woman that is not just interested in your money! lol. I guess that's one of the reasons we are still together after 50 years!

Can’t cope with being disfellowshipped…..Need some advice

by xxBettyBoopxx in

this site is great, i have been lurking for a while now.

but i can’t get reinstated and have used some of the advice already given.. i was df’d many months ago and go to all the meetings and do all the preparation for the meetings, but the jc committee keep refusing me.

tomorrow at the clam meeting i am puting yet another letter in and will be called for another dreadful jc meeting.. 1. what can i say to the elders to show that i am truly repentant?.

eyeuse2badub

Obviously you are not repentant (from a jw point of view). You can't be lurking on and contributing to an "apostate" website if you are repentant (from a jw point of view).

However, if you really need to be reinstated, kiss their ass and tell them anything they want to hear so that, in their 'little game of authority', they will feel sooooo important and "mercifully" reinstate you. Remember that it all about them and their power over you!

WT Study - 28th Aug 2016 - “Do Not Let the Faults of Others Stumble You”

by Nicholaus Kopernicus in

in paragraph 2 of this study, the gbojw evidences once again that they are sticking to the absurd 1914 doctrine – “when the last days of the present system began...”.

i noted that as 2014 approached, the gbojw became somewhat reticent about making reference to revelation 12:12 – the “short period of time” scripture.

so this study is the first one in a long time in which both the 1914 doctrine and revelation 12:12 are mentioned in the same study.

I also went to the wt meeting yesterday with my lovely wife. I particularly enjoyed paragraph 3 where it pointed out jehober's dominant quality-------love. The paragraph went on to point out that----- "55 million people were killed in WWII alone. However, Jehovah's Witnesses did not participate in that global slaughter."

On the way home I mentioned to my lovely wife that it seemed a bit odd to me that the same paragraph that talked up jehober's love would also mention the fact that jehober allowed 55 million of his children to perish in WWII. Why? I also mentioned that Jehovah's Witnesses will not have to participate in the coming global slaughter at the big "A" when BILLIONS WILL PERISH!

Silence the rest of the way home but I know she was thinking about it.

Dec 2016 study edition 'Setting your mind on the spirit.' WTF?

by Esse quam videri in

so the study article 'setting your mind on the spirit means life and peace.

' at paragraph 9 a little pictorial lecture for anyone setting their minds on the flesh.

brother fleshly minded talking about having a sailboat.

eyeuse2badub

I guess that we can all remember the time when we believed that: 'if we forsake all "worldly pleasures" in this system, jehober will bless us beyond our wildest dreams.'

WOW! So much wasted time forsaking instead of partaking!

to lie or to deceive (w 12/2016, par 18, 19)

by George One Time in

why not use a biblical example, like jacob when deceiving his father isaac?

jehovah himself seems to have no problem with deceiving.

or 1 kings 22:19-22 "who will deceive ahab?

eyeuse2badub

So is it OK to lie to your employer about going to visit your sick mother when you are actually going to the RC knowing that your sick mother will be there also? After all there is a grain of "truth" in your statement. lol

Yes it has been done by some I know!

I wonder what was going through the minds of the all former GB members and their wives as they laid there dying on their death beds?

What do you think?

As is the case with sooooo many Watchtower proclamations--It depends on what the word "never" means!

And it also depends on what the word "old" means!

Are there any scriptures that indicate believers would die at Armageddon?

by Crazyguy in

probably a stupid question and you'll all point a bunch of scripture but i thought i would ask anyway?.

eyeuse2badub

Nice research Blondie.

I especially love the WT quote from the 12/15/98 WT because if something 'miraculous' happens and a jw escapes harm---praise jah. But if a jw or a bunch of jw's perish--well

*** w98 12/15 p. 22 When Armed Robbers Strike ***
While Jehovah protects his people as a whole, he does not intervene in every case

Tough sh*t for those jehober 'chooses' not to protect!

Beards mentioned again in magazine!

by neat blue dog in

aaaaaand .

.. it offers absolutely nothing new.. from questions from readers in the december 2016 study edition watchtower:.

"is it proper for a brother todayto have a beard?in some cultures, a neat beardmay be acceptable and may notdetract from the kingdom mes-sage.

eyeuse2badub

In some cultures it is considered wrong for women to shave their pubic hair because it is a practice of prostitutes. Now that would make a very interesting WT article or "question from readers".
